Hi, anyone working in this company? Or any good or bad review for this company? Please comment, thanks!

is scam company... u can try google it and there's alot of reviews for u

source? i couldn't find it in google

existing thread about marcus evans
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=329423

Hahaha this is one of the company that promise heaven and earth. Basically they recruit you to do sales for the event or promoting a seminar. You get a basic and a promising career plus movement to international location. One of my friend did all the sales but she did not get the commission she deserve. Well, good ground for newbie to learn their hard boil sales technique.

i dont know what is your friend problem but on my case, all the commission being paid nice and well as they promise.
no offense.

Too bad when someone starts to think an established global business events and information company like Marcus Evans as a scam company. If that is what the person thinks, then the Malaysia's office could be at fault of what it is supposed to do.

i am an ex employee, and all i do is talk on telephone all day long with strangers all over the world.

Its certainly a hard-core telephone sales.... and u have to get your own leads for the event you are promoting..

The pay does not justify what u give... mind u.. i was top sales in my batch of newbies yet i earn peanuts...

And office politics are everywhere.. imagine, fighting to get sales with 100 other colleagues..

All in, its a very good training ground for sales.. and that's just it. Nothing more.

ya...heard from fren oso...in marcus evans...have those thing hapened
the sales manager will take newbie sales if they assist u to close deal.

and politic strong...but u can learn english conversation...cos mostly will talk with the senior lvl ppl & top lvl ppl.

any more new comments?

recently heard that Thailand & Philippine regional office will closing down..
only malaysia and singapore office still operate.

what if we apply for event? is it doing the same job?

I don't get you? What do you mean? Mind to tell us clearer?

once i attend one of the seminar....the cost is USD 1700... but what i gain is just USD17.... most of the participants are senior managers in top companys were also complaining... the usd1700 were not justified... the course is even got a CEP (continuous education program) point... later that particular course were revoke from the CEP list....thanks to me

for that kind of 2 days seminar, with that kind of fee, i got only a paper folder ..not even notes... notes u have to downloaded it yourself with the provided login to their website (payment of the course must be settled baru boleh dapat password) and the password will valid for 5 days only.... doh!!

This is direct blood sucking scheme no doubt, which seminar did you joined?

the tittle is so gempak 1st World OSH Forum..the speaker are from local and one aussie who talk about how his survived 2rd degree electric burn..
i can watch better survival story in Discovery Ch....

so ripp off.............i think that's the 1st and the last so called world osh forum... never heard they did the 2nd ever since....

My company wanted to do some event and I called the ME general line and request to speak to a Sales staff. Unfortunately, he doesn't sound friendly and very robotic - as tho merely doing his much needed routine for the day. Plus, he doesn't ask much details and only took the necessary info ... the quotation never came tho he promised to fax over the next day!!! I wonder if it's the working attitude or he's juz having a bad day. I have seen the ME recruitment booth (during Careers Fair at MV) before and the staffs look friendly, enthusiastic and energetic (perhaps putting an upfront?) but gawd knows what happens on the inside...

Neway, that's a loss of biz for him and the comp~

Well, I just got an offer from UNI Strategic as a corporate sales executive which I think has the similar working environment with Marcus Evans.

I have to make up my mind before next monday hence would like to get more opinion from you guys. Their fees for per seat range from RM7,500- RM12,000 which I think is ridiculously high...I doubt whether how many senior managers will be able to afford to attend the conference or workshop with such a high fees.

I will feel grateful for every comment I got, thanks.

Luckily I do some research before I accept the offer O.O
Thanks for your info because unfortunately I can't find much about the working environment in this company through google .

I wonder why these companies are still around... If they dont know how to do business where the hell their money comes from...

i dont know about the others but UNI startegics , they try to bring their singapore style here trying to prove something !!

always talk about their singaporean pride , we are like this , we are like that , we are better than malaysianm bla bla bla bullshitszzz....

assume they are highly educated and they know everything .................

it was really a bad experience working with this singaporean company.... pity those who are stuck there looking for oppurtunities.

Hi Suju, may I know how much is the basic salary in UNI?
So far Marcus Evans gives RM 1500

they pay rm 1500 also .... i used to work there !!
- epf socso u only get about rm130+

People.

Who the heck you guys think you are, making judgements on companies?!

There's a reason why all of you are here, b****ing about pretty much everything, while there are others out there like myself who are making good money for ourselves working in a decent company, making a significant contribution!

Clearly these companies are making money without you guys contributing anything to it. So, more power to them!!

Qn: Companies pay you money to do what?
Ans: TO WORK! Not to b****! Not to make people happy, FOR YOU TO WORK - to contribute! SIMPLE AS THAT!

You don't like it, set up your own damn company!!

I think it's safe to say that all of you are NOT in a position pass comments on how a company should run. A company's systems DOES NOT FAIL because the same systems has been running for years without you in it!

SYSTEMS DO NOT FAIL, PEOPLE FAIL! It's the people that make it FAIL!

IF YOU ARE A FAILURE, DON'T MAKE OTHERS A FAILURE LIKE YOURSELF!

GREAT PEOPLE BRING OTHERS TO BE AS HIGH AS THEY ARE! Failures drags others to be as low as them as well. YOU DECIDE which side of the coin you belong to!

The whole idea is for YOU to PROVE YOURSELF working in a company first before you are in fact worthy of a CONSTRUCTIVE opinion!

Hard work always pays, regardless of profession. Humility will make you an asset!

So then, get a job, get to work, prove yourself.

b****ING WON'T HELP. NEVER WILL.

Well someone's feeling the sting. I wasn't going to say anything bad about Marcus Evans, but after seeing this post I feel that I had to. This dude must be that John/Jason/something Keith or some dude from the Marcus Evans office. I've had an interview with him once, real prick, thinks he's better than everyone else but he's just a liar. Claims that he make 500 calls and 200 faxes a day? Well I thought it was impressive at first then as I in the elevator I realized, man that guy was full of BS, if he made 500 calls a day, that means he spent less than 55 seconds per call (including the time it takes to dial the number, wait to connect, ring, answer, say hello, etc) and if he worked 10 hours a day, he can spend 72 seconds on each call, and that's not even including the faxes. So to hell with him. Good thing I didn't buy his bullshit.

Hey John/Jason/whatever your name because it's too insignificant for me to remember, people work better when they're happy. And people who are not happy quit. People won't work for you if you call them failures, and people don't need to prove themselves to you because they don't need you.

And companies don't have immunity to b|tching, if they're so scared of negative feedbacks, then why don't they complain about positive ones as well eh? If you're so uptight about your company getting complaints, then don't open it up to the public, hire your family or inbred relatives or something.

Which begs the question... why the hell are you b|tching on this board anyway?

First and foremost, I'm not b****ing and neither am I feeling any kind of sting anyway.

And who's this "John/Jason/something Keith" you keep referring me to?! I'm not from ME, not even from the same industry.

This is an open blog! I'm merely giving my opinions like you and anyone else is.

And by the way,s there's no such thing as a positive complaint!! haha.. It's a complaint, how can it be positive. If it's criticism, then it's positive!

I'm already working so there isn't a need for me to open a company. I've proven myself in an organisation already which is more than what I could say for you.

What I just did in my previous post is merely stating facts, cold hard truths about the working world. If you don't like the bait, then don't bite!

The corporate world is that competitive these days. The bar has been raised and it's up to the individuals to meet it. Either stay low or join us at the top!

Enough said. My work here is done.

It's a forum, not a blog. If you're not from Marcus Evans, then why post in a thread which the last post was more than 10 days ago, or 3 pages back? Which means you specifically searched for this thread.


My sensei always say, "No complain, no improve". You're obviously more narrow minded than I give you credit for. Anyways, where the heck in my post did I mention positive complaint?

So... are you calling others liars? Whatever happened to exercising the right to an opinion? If you want to dare someone to start their own company, then at some point someone's going to say the same thing to you. Apparently, you can't even take your own criticism. Anyway congratulations on proving yourself in your organization, whatever that means.

Well, if those "at the top" consist of people like you, then you can stay at the top, I'm quite comfortable where I am, thank you.

Are you ok? Why so much angst? It's normal for people to complain about work. Even those who possess the best of everything complains. It's the human nature to do so. I'm sure you have complaint about SOMETHING throughout your years of living and growing up.

Yes, a system is running fine without the anyone interfering. But a system can be MORE EFFICIENT with suggestions, complaints, ideas etc. A complain, criticism isn't necessarily bad - depends on how YOU view it. Because you view all the comments here as negative, you think we're all b****ing about it. If someone from M E reads this thread, I suppose they could look from another POV to improve their turnover and business. There's always something to what someone says, important thing is HOW you look at it.

I'm done too

The reason why these companies are doing well is because they have a successful system that exploit people. The force people to do their best, so even their turnover is high, they have policies and system that will make sure as long as these people are working with them, they get sales and do their best to make money for the company.

sure o not ??

if what you say is true why several branch of marcus evans closed down left their staffs jobless ?

or are you saying that only 1 or 2 are succesfull making money like you are now ??

SYSTEM DONT FAIL SURE OR NOT ??

PEOPLE CREATED THE SYSTEM !! IF THE PEOPLE CAN MAKE MISTAKE SO DO THE SYSTEM !!

Wah..the conclusion is Marcus Evans and UNI Strategic are all the same lar..Using the same tactic to rip off ppl and their staffs isit?

I was supposed to attend an interview by them,now I thank God I don;t have to brave thru the crazy KL traffic for a scam company.Btw, shouldn't sites like Jobstreet blacklist these fellas?Feel sorry for those who are unaware of what they are getting themselves into

you should see this and read about uni strategic - http://uni-strategic.blogspot.com/
uni strategic is a scam, both uni strategic pte ltd singapore and uni strategic sdn bhd. so close to making a terrible decision. scary these type of companies, no authorities raid them or sue them and can still allowed on jobstreet.

They called me back for an interview few weeks back even though I already rejected them last year.

I sensed desperateness

Hi everyone,

I go for 2 interviews with uni strategic and also trueventus. Then come home google then saw this. But is it real about all this posted here? Are they in the same business?

So scary, but at least the feeling at uni strategic is better compare to trueventus leh.

For those have work there before why is so bad there? I wait very long for my turn for interview and see people walk in walk out all like so happy leh and the office is so nice.

Can share?

Hi, anyone knows the latest starting pay for sales rep at Marcus Evans? First 3 months pay and allowance?

RM1500.. good luck

Is rm1500 total salary and comission or salary only? Anyone actually works there? Would like to know a bit more because I am still looking for my first job. Telemarketing pay of RM1500 a month reasonable for fresh college grad? Thanks.
